I’ve used it to time writing and to time all sorts of things. When I use it I don’t have to worry I’ll miss the cue – it’s right there

I used to have one of those staid, white timer’s that you twist the dial on for the number of minutes. I dropped it and it broke. In fact, I fixed it once and it broke again – it didn’t like ending up hard on the floor.

So I googled egg timer and got this nifty site.

It’s right where I need it the most, on my desktop where I do 98 percent of my work.

I use a program called FocusBooster. It’s much the same thing, except after your time is up it automatically goes to a “break time” setting of 5 minutes (adjustable) for you to rest and reward yourself for a job well done. Then it’s back to boiling!Patrick recently posted..After The Dream
